1859-S Gold Dollar, MS61Conditionally Challenging Issue

1859-S G$1 MS61 NGC. The 1859-S is one of the premier
condition rarities in the gold dollar series. With a mintage of
only 15,000 pieces, it is fairly scarce in all grades but
exceedingly difficult in AU and Mint State. This piece is well
struck on the reverse but shows some softness of details on the
obverse hair curls. The surfaces are bright overall, with
yellow-gold patina imbued with light tan. Minute contact marks are
visible on Liberty's cheek, and the fields on both sides reveal
some luster grazes and scuffs. Census: 9 in 61, 1 finer
(11/10).(Registry
values: N4719) (NGC ID# 25CP, PCGS# 7554)
